Cold or not, I had to try the limited-time HK Milk Tea Bingsu from Duo and it did not disappoint…read more Housemade bingsu, HK milk tea sauce, mini pineapple bun, milk tea basque cheesecake, vanilla honey ice cream, and the perfect cookie crumble crunch. Strong milk tea, not overly sweet -- just really, really good The servers brought our food straight to our table which was nice but finding a spot to sit was the real issue. It does fill up quickly though they have a decently sized space so just a heads up!

I love the ice cream cakes from here! I've only tried the…read moreGarden one so for my birthday I ordered their Mother's Day cake, which was the Lychee Raspberry. I love anything lychee, so this was a no brainer and it went well with the raspberry. It was however a bit on the sweeter side and I wasn't a huge fan of all the fondant. I prefer the Garden one, but would want to try out some of their other ice cream cakes too. I did find it odd that they charge for the chocolate plaque where the message was written...and they weren't able to make changes to it even though I called a few days in advance. I was told they already made them in advance so no changes could be made. Not sure why they didn't have the option of letting me pay for another plaque to be rewritten either since they just stuck it on the side of the cake so not like it would ruin the cake..?

Despite the name they have quite a few Vietnamese & Asian dishes. They also offer boardgames for…read morefree. They get 3.5 stars. Rare beef pho was good. The stock was rich & slightly sweet. The herbs came in the soup already. Green tea matcha crepe with Nutella was decent; it was neither warm nor crispy so it didn't seem fresh. The matcha was in the crepe not on it - it was green on one side & brown on the other. The Nutella was adequate.

CrepeStar Dessert Cafe & Bistro has two things that you don't normally see together - Desserts and…read morePho. Their Pho is actually pretty tasty. It's got something in it that a bunch of others do not, but make sure you tell them ahead of time if you don't want bean sprouts. I usually like to get Pho with grilled chicken in it, but they do charge you a bit extra for the grilled chicken part. Their rare beef is as good as anywhere else, but the soup is what you're getting it for. Their bowls are a little smaller for the price they ask for though. Their desserts that I've had and heard have been good, but again, expensive for what they are. Their menu is quite large, as they also offer bar food and some other desserts. Their fries / poutine's pretty good. It's a pretty small place, but I've never seen a line there. Service is good, though sometimes it takes a bit to flag someone down. They had a karaoke night last time we went, which is kind of annoying if you're only there for the meal like we were. Still, you could do worse for a bowl of Pho, some bar food or dessert. I'm not sure I'd recommend going often because of the price. We've gone a few times with friends because of the large menu, resulting in a good experience.

So I've loved their location for a long time. Amazing pastries, baguettes, and the service has…read morealways been friendly and quick. But the inside? It was gloomy. Dark. Worn down. I just wanted to get takeout andjleave. But they've gone through a whole renovation, and now the place is bright, open, airy. It's a total 180 in terms of the vibe, as you kids say. A picture is worth a thousand words! The tables and chairs are very modern and comfortable looking, but I didn't take any photos because there were people sitting at them, and I'm no TikTok influencer.

My first visit here and I loved my breakfast crepe! Chicken mushroom roasted red pepper and cheddar…read morecrepes with salad and raspberry vinaigrette was so delicious! I savoured every bite! The brewed coffee was so good too. Free refills and you fill yourself. I didn't know that so I sat at my table for long time with the empty cup they gave me at front desk. They should tell people it's self serve. Initially they came to our table with menus so I thought they'd bring coffee to table. Nope. Lots of tables to sit at and it was nice and quiet atmosphere. They have outside sitting too. It's a short walk from Coxwell subway station. Lots of beautiful cakes and pastries on display too. I'm definitely coming back for the crepes again and other dishes on the menu.

Came here after screemers just down the road. They were playing the Jays final game as well. Lots…read moreof parking lot and seats. We came around 9pm, there were about 9 of us total. Lots of seats available, benches and booths to choose from. The booths can seat up to about 4 people. They offered a lot of food from drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic), all day breakfast items, and desserts. They have desserts on cookies, waffles, crepes, sundaes, bubble waffles. I got the so much to say with the hazelnuts, my family all got different kinds. I really enjoyed the desserts, pretty similar to demetres or d spot if you're looking for something like that. I would come here again if I was in the area for sure.

Came back for Mother's Day and wasn't disappointed. We beat the rush by coming for dinner, so it…read morewas relaxed and service was attentive. The savoury food menu is a bit limited and hasn't changed, but that's expected for a dessert focused place. Really the best reason to come here is the ice cream. The extent of flavour choices and the quality are fantastic. They don't give roses anymore (or maybe they ran out) but it was yet another Mother's Day here that hit fine for me.

Amazing cafe. Nice atmosphere with lots if pastries and…read morecakes. Food selection looks good and ill try it next time. Mostly self help Service was at minimum as it was counter service. Good stop.

Paris Baguette is my go‑to spot in the area for consistently solid baked goods and sliced cakes…read more Their loyalty program is a nice perk too -- they run specials often enough that it actually feels worthwhile. The coffee here is good, but I tend to skip most of the sugary drinks since they're a bit too sweet, especially when paired with an already sweet pastry. If you like your beverages on the lighter side, stick to the basics. Weekends can get very busy. If you're hoping to grab a seat and enjoy your treats in‑house, it's best to avoid peak times. Otherwise, it's a reliable stop for takeout pastries, cakes, and a quick caffeine fix.

My hubby was happen to be around this neighbourhood, and looked for some place to grab some…read moregoodies. Then found this place to bring some good pastries to home! Love you! He was very interested in their "Monkey Bread" which is highly reputed, but by the time he went in, it was sold out.... but he got # Butter Croissant # Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant) # Vanilla custard croissant All are very good, as their croissant base was very good. If things are wrapped or topped on this base, everything will be good. Just that it is monotone when I wanted to try variation and creative twists. But I should not ask this as encountering quality croissant itself means i am lucky enough! A well-made croissant is the touchstone for bakery quality. I want to try their well reputed Monkey Bread. It should be good! :)

Amazing pastries and desserts! My friend and I went to Tondo on a Saturday at around 2pm. It was…read morefull house, and we were able to still get a table for 2. The ambiance was bright and clean with Christmas decor still up ^^ Most of the items are gone by this hour, especially the sandwiches! I heard the Tuna salad sandwich is served in a croissant wheel *o* I would love to try that one next time! We shared a Nutella croissant and a matcha yuzu tart. The tart was really delicious, I'd highly recommend. My friend really enjoyed the croissant; it was super crispy and filled with Nutella.

Lumière Pâtisserie is a Thornhill gem--proof that you don't have to go downtown for great pastries…read more Yes, it's tucked into a suburban plaza off a parking lot, but inside it's light-filled, calm, and smells like heaven. The service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.

Checked out this gorgeous patisserie in Thornhill for an afternoon coffee & dessert date with a…read morefriend! The espresso here is excellent - well-bodied in flavour, medium roast (I think?), and pairs nicely with the sweetness of the cakes & pastries. There's also a wide selection of small personal cakes to choose from - just make sure you come early since they do sell out! We shared the cream & crumb cheesecake (simple, classic, and incredibly creamy!) and tiramichoux (think a tiramisu profiterole - such a fun twist!). Looking forward to my next visit already :)

Came here after dinner for some croffle and ice cream. This place was quite busy on a Friday night,…read morethere was about a 15min wait. The hostess took your name and number, waited by the lobby to get called in. The restaurant is bright with tons of seats including patio seatings. Our server was Ayman on his first day and he was truly kind and you can feel customer service when he spoke with you. We ordered a croffle but he brought in a waffle so it was a wrong order. We asked if we can just have the waffle and he got the okay, after the croffle came. The mistake wasn't really his fault since my friend had a thicker accent where croffle and waffle sounds quite the same. I would say the croffle isn't as good as the croffles in Cups which is why I was craving for it for dessert. That's the reason for one star less. Otherwise everything else is great! Pricing is on the higher side by the way but the portion is ginormous. I'll be coming here again after a small appetizer at a restaurant then here for dessert! Rating 4.2/5

Updating my review since it's been a while since I last came. We came on a Thursday evening, it was…read morescorching hot outside so it was nice to have some cool treats. We were greeted by the waitress and we ordered the bisco fever Belgian waffle. It took a while for the waitress to come back to take our order, I noticed she is the only worker on the floor and was tending to every table so the last couple of times it was the same thing, everything took longer to get the waiter/waitress' attention. One thing I wish is that there is another worker so that it doesn't take so long to order the dessert or get water. This was my favourite Belgian waffle, it had blondes, biscoff sauce that was nice and warm, biscoff cookie crumble with honey vanilla ice cream. Everything worked well together and tasted amazing. I loved the warm and crispiness of the waffle. It was definitely the star dessert at demetres! It was presented nicely with icing sugar and sauce over the waffles. I would most likely order this waffle again next time!
